Hi John - just got tracks eraser pro doing it's stuff in the back ground, and like you said, very strait forward to use, looks impressive. Have you used CCleaner? Any thoughts on it? I'm wondering what it might do that tracks eraser pro doesn't.

It's a wonderful little programme. It even clears the index.dat file, which the others don't. To run it just click on tracks eraser pro, then tab to the erase now button. it'll do it and you'll get an OK button. click it and tab to exit. That's it.

Hi Andy, I take it he clears his cookies? If he doesn't over time that will slow a system to a crawl.

In Control Panel. To set these values, click System, click Advanced system settings , and then click Settings under Performance. Typically 1.5 times your installed RAM is the number most home-users need. How much RAM do you have int hat machine? It may be an idea to upgrade.

A message pops ups saying something about shortage of virtual space or memory, and if I recall correctly, this is something to do with the swap file, but I don't know where to access it, or what to do with it <smile> Help appreciated - Andy
